This Game Is Too Realistic-Chapter 378.2: The War Has Already Started

Through the dispersing smoke, Walid finally saw his fallen brother, his eyes instantly filled with red-hot rage. With a roar, he forcefully broke free from his grapple with Roshan and charged towards Tail and Sisi.

Just as he was about to reach them, a whoosh tore through the air.

An RPG rocket, trailing thick flames through the air, burst from the darkness and struck the brute squarely on the left shoulder!

It was an armor-piercing payload!

The explosive metal jet, like a scorching spear of light, mercilessly penetrated his left shoulder and exploded out the right side of his body.

His flesh was scorched and vaporized by the thousands of degrees.

Even a purebred mutant couldn't regenerate half a body so quickly.

Walid let out a pained roar but quickly fell silent, his massive body crashing to the ground with a thud.

Holding the smoking launcher, Sesame Paste's chest heaved dramatically, her heart nearly jumping out of her throat.

"Sesame Paste?!" Roshan looked at her in surprise. "Didn't you take Luo Hua and leave?"

Sesame Paste said softly, "I... couldn't leave you behind."

"Thanks, but even so... Our mission is probably doomed." Looking up at the slowly falling red flare, Sisi sighed softly.

Well... So be it. It’s just a game, as long as everyone is happy, it’s fine.

They had done their best.

What really saddened her was the loss of Tail's cargo.

After all, it would only take 3 days for them to revive. It would take a lot of time to earn back their lost cargo worth over a hundred thousand silver coins!

Who would have thought that Tail would be bouncing around happily while declaring, "Don't worry, our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Our... Reinforcements?" Sisi managed a bitter smile, about to sarcastically ask what kind of reinforcements could there be, but then she suddenly remembered something and quickly checked her VM.

Sure enough... a string of flicking green dots appeared on the originally dark map.

Those were green spots of hope that were arriving!

"Yeah!" Tail nodded excitedly, continuing without pause, "It's Brother Spring Water and the others! That was really close... I was almost hit by the sniper!”

As it turned out, those gunshots were from their guys, there to save Tail.

Sisi's eyes lit up with realization.

As for the explosions...

It was probably Spring Water Commander's 120mm mortar.

If she remembered correctly, he named it the Destroyer. It was the exoskeleton that made him look like Blastoise.

That wasn’t the point anyway. She just couldn’t understand why the Storm Corps had arrived. After all, they only set off the day before, right?

Traveling 150 kilometers across the wasteland should take at least 5 days, so how could they have arrived in less than 48 hours?

As they were talking, dense gunfire erupted in the distance.

The Army, who came to reinforce their allies after seeing the flare, ran into the elite Storm Corps which also arrived. An intense gunfight happened instantly.

Then, 3 more deafening explosions occurred.

Faced with the players' fierce firepower, the reinforcing Army’s squad quickly lost over half its men. They left behind 30 corpses before retreating to the west.

The distant gunfire gradually died down, and the players chose not to pursue.

After bandaging her wounds, Sisi soon saw a group approaching.

There were around 20 of them, and all of them wore Type 5 Light Cavalry exoskeletons. That was the hallmark of the elite members of the Storm Corps.

The person leading the group was none other than Battlefield Cheerleader, an expert who entered the game in the early versions.

Seeing her familiar teammates, Sisi spoke in a daze. "H-How did you guys get here?"

"Obviously, we ran!”

"... Ran?"

"Yeah." Rifle slung over his shoulder, Battlefield Cheerleader grinned and cursed.

"That bastard Spring Water is a real asshole, you know? He organized an entire squad with the Type 5 Light Cavalry exoskeleton and said that since we’re wearing cavalry armor, we should be like one. He split us up into groups of 2 with 1 of us with armor and 1 without, taking turns to run with the amor while carrying the other player. We ran for 30 hours straight... Motherfuc... This granddaddy’s exoskeleton is nearly out of power!”

Sisi was stunned. Taking turns as mounts... What kind of madness was that?! She tried to imagine that scenario and felt her imagination wasn't quite up to the task.

But theoretically, with the performance of the Type 5 Light Cavalry exoskeleton, such an operation was indeed feasible.

It was just a bit inhumane.

"... Where’s Darkest, who follows you around, where is he?"

Battlefield Cheerleader laughed. "He's helping Spring Water Commander adjust his motar!"

"His ability is unexpectedly useful in directing artillery fire. Not only can he lock onto the general area of gunfire, but he can also predict the impact point of shells. That guy who was sniping from the toilet earlier... We blew him away with our 120mm shells!"

Tail quickly shot him a mega thumbs up. "Whoa! Thanks, brother, that was close!"

"Hahaha, no problem!" Battlefield Cheerleader laughed. "You guys aren't bad either, holding out for so long."

Tail raised her head and yelled proudly, "No shit! Our Sisi is super brave! Of course, Tail is too!"

Sisi coughed lightly, changing the subject. "Speaking of which, did you guys just abandon your supply train?"

"Pretty much, we only have 23 sets of Light Cavalry, except for Spring Water Commander who uses his own Destroyer, the others are equipped with KV-1s. KV-1s are just too weak... Right, why aren’t you guys wearing your exoskeletons?”

"Who brings those on a trading run...? But speaking of which, you guys didn't bring any supplies either?"

"Don't worry, isn't that what you're for?" Battlefield Cheerleader laughed, "Spring Water Commander said when he flew back that day, he felt sure you guys would run into trouble, That was why he kept pushing us to hurry. Anyway, he said that we can just mooch off our sugar mommy after we meet up.”

Sisi rolled her eyes instantly. "..."

Tail didn’t seem to care and she swung her head from side to side. "Oh! Feel free to eat, I brought a lot of tasty stuff!"

Battlefield Cheerleader roared with laughter the next moment. "Haha, just kidding, we won't freeload on your supplies, just charge us the market price, after all, the military department will reimburse us anyway."

Sisi’s sign soon cut through the happy atmosphere. "Let's not talk about such distant things... With all this commotion, we should change locations. Tail, could you please pack up the luggage?"

"Okay!" Tail headed over to the truck, and Sesame Paste went to help.

Battlefield Cheerleader glanced at the bandage wrapped around Sisi's waist and frowned. "Are you okay?"

Standing by, Kakarot interjected, "I'm a strength type, I can carry you!"

Hearing him, Broken Leg Kevin immediately protested. "Hey, aren't you my mount?"

Kakarot rolled his eyes. "Get lost! Who the hell is your mount!"

"I'm fine... I'll do it myself." Taking a deep breath, Sisi picked up the rifle from the ground to use as a cane. Leaning on a tree trunk, she stood up. Just as she was about to return to the truck, she suddenly saw Roshan sitting quietly in a corner of the campsite with her head bowed.

"Roro?"

The white bear didn't respond.

Her gaze shifted downward, noticing the mutant brown bear lying on the ground. Sisi paused for a moment, then also fell silent.

Walking up behind Roshan, she placed her hand on her fuzzy shoulder.

Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore. Her broad shoulders trembled slightly, and Roshan, head bowed, spoke with a choked voice. "Teddy... Teddy is no longer breathing...”

Although they kept it as a joke, after traveling together for so long, she had already taken it as a good comrade.

The other members of the Order of the White Bear felt the same.

The area was quiet for some time.

Sesame Paste wiped her eyes, and even the usually optimistic and noisy Tail had fallen silent and had her head bowed.

The players standing around were also silent.

Most were Alpha version testers who understood the feeling of people from their memories never coming back.

Perhaps the most real, yet worst aspect of the game was that NPCs couldn't be revived. Players could resurrect with memories, regardless of how they died, always seeing the sun again 3 days later.

However, the NPCs accompanying them only had 1 life.

Those memories sometimes felt more like a curse... The only pain the helmets couldn't block. That was why they always took the lead in any fight.

Battlefield Cheerleader scratched the back of his head. Although he didn't want to speak at this moment and wasn't good at comforting, they had to move.

"Spring Water Commander said to regroup with you and move immediately... The enemy might deploy area-effect weapons, we don't have much time."

Sisi nodded silently. Gently patting that fuzzy back, she softly said, "Let's take it with us."

Roshan nodded with mixed emotions, "Yeah..."

...

In the Heart of Steel

An officer hurried through the corridor, his face frantic as he burst into the bridge.

Pushing open the door, his voice trembled as he reported loudly, "Report! The 31st Marine Corps have been completely wiped out! Someone ambushed our ground troops sent to the eastern suburbs to recover the parachute!"

On their first day in River Valley Province, they had suffered such heavy losses.

"A bunch of trash!" General McClennan erupted in anger, turning to the crewman at the control panel and barking loudly, "Load the 400mm main cannon!"

"Turn those dogs to dust!"

He knew those people must have already fled. No one would be foolish enough to stand still and let themselves be bombed, but he still wanted to do it.

Not for any other reason.

He wanted those ants to feel the fire rising from hell with their eyes, ears, and souls; to tremble before the artillery and kneel on the ground regretting their brainless stupidity.

No one could stop the Army!

No one could stop him!

The crewman at the control panel responded loudly.

"Yes!"

...

In the quiet night sky, a flash of light twinkled, a thick column of air shot into the sky, followed by the thunderous rumble breaking through the clouds.

That night, every scavenger in Lucky Valley Municipality, whether a survivor or a looter, heard the earth-shattering boom.

The shell fell 20 kilometers away, in a hollow covered by the forest.

The crimson fire devoured everything, billowing smoke shot into the sky, and flying debris and the shockwave swept through everything in its path.

Standing on a distant hillside, Spring Water Commander handed the binoculars to Battlefield Cheerleader standing beside him and muttered, "Normal mortars can't shoot this far, must be a rocket-extended shell... From the shape of the gas column and the area of destruction, the warhead should be a hydrogen bomb..."

It was the legendary sub-nuclear weapon that could instantly deplete the oxygen in an entire area.

After a pause, he continued, "The war... has begun."

Battlefield Cheerleader remained silent.

Only after a long while did he suddenly speak up, as if coming back to his senses. "Holy shit, that's some serious power!"

"Should we get one too?"

Spring Water Commander rolled his eyes. "What's the use without air supremacy? Are we supposed to just be shot down?!”

Battlefield Cheerleader frowned. "What do we do then?"

He was good at charging at his enemies, but that was all. Asking how to fight a battle left him completely at a loss.

Spring Water Commander chuckled calmly, "We'll do what we need to do, it's not like we can't fight without air supremacy. We’ll just take a different approach."

Bullying monkeys with sticks wasn’t fun... Now, he was finally on the battlefield!

Looking at the lingering smoke, a light flashed in his eyes. Fear was nowhere to be seen. It was pure excitement as he looked at the destruction before him.

It was time for him to show off his true abilities!
